Jodrell Chair of Physiology
(Redirected from Draft:Jodrell Professor of Physiology)
The Jodrell Chair of Physiology is a chair at University College London, endowed (shortly before the Jodrell Professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy) by Thomas Jodrell Phillips Jodrell in 1873. The chairs succeeded the previous chair in Anatomy and Physiology.
The endowment was for the sum of £7500 (equivalent to £1,047,091 in 2023), with a further £500 for equipment.[1][2] This endowment was acknowledged in the final report of the Royal Commission on Scientific Instruction in 1875.[3]
The first holder was John Burdon-Sanderson after the post received the Jodrell endowment.[4]
Two Jodrell Professors, Archibald Hill and Andrew Huxley, have gone onto win the Nobel prize in physiology or medicine
